Note: Aban b. Uthman, who reported that hadith, became paralyzed. Somebody who heard that hadith from him stared at him. Thereupon, Aban said to him, ‘Why are you staring at me? The hadith is as I have told you. I have not told you a lie about Hz. Uthman. Hz. Uthman did not lie about the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) either. However, I could not report that hadith on that day so that Allah’s predestination would occur.’ (Abu Dawud, Adab, 101)

The following was reported from Sa’d b. Abi Waqqas:
“We were with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). He asked us, «Is one amongst you powerless to get one thousand virtues every day. Amongst those who had been sitting there, one asked: ‘How can one amongst us get one thousand virtues every day?’ He said: If one of you says one hundred times after fard prayers,
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ
one thousand virtues are recorded for him and one thousand sins of him are deleted.»”

وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Juwayriya narrates: One morning, the Prophet (pbuh) left my room early to perform the morning prayer (fajr). He returned later that morning. Juwayriya was still sitting. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) asked, "Have you been sitting in the same place since I left you?" She replied, "Yes, I have." Thereupon, the Prophet said,
"I recited four phrases three times after I left you. If they were to be weighed against what you had been reciting since dawn, they would still outweigh them. They are as follows:
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ ورِضَا نَفْسِهِ
